Regarding BAPI calls!

Dear all,
I am working in a project where we archive SAP data (outbound documents) and connect some of the documents for SAP R/3 applications from any other resource other than SAP(in bound documents).
Ours is basically a third party tool which supports SAP R/3 documents as well as BW`s documents, certified by SAP.we maintain our own repository for that purpose.The meta data related to the documents is stored in SAP.our requirement now is to have that metadata available in our repository.we need to extract that meta data available in SAP.
can any one know here in which table those data is available? all i know is we need to apply BAPI calls to extract that metadata from SAP to our repository.
is there any method existing other than BAPI to extract that data?if yes what are those and how to go about that type?if not, how to call the BAPI`S from our repository?
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Hello,
You can find out the metadata for tables in table DD03L. I don't know about the BAPI to read these data.
But, you can make one program which downloads the data into flat file. Later you can upload that file into your third party software.

Problem regarding BAPI call from a webdynpro applications

Hi,
We are trying to call a BAPI in R/3 system from a webdynpro application through the standard method. But we are getting some problems in JCO settings. We already wasted so much time in solving those problems. Is there anyway where i can access BAPI from Webdynpro application.
Rgrds,
Anna

Hello Anna,
You can do it by using SAP Java Connector API's in the implementation of the Webdynpro application. You can refer to the sample programs for JCO at http://service.sap.com/connectors and download the latest version of SAP JCo in that install those files as per the installation document in the downloaded zip. The downloaded zip contains information about JCo APIs and sample programs.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Regarding the BAPI calls without input

Hi all,
We are developing on webdynpro component. I came across a scenario where we call the BAPI through Adaptive BAPI model. This bapi doesnt take any input parameters but returns 7 tables with data.
So, My problem here is i am not getting output in the 7 tables. i am sending a dummy input and executing on the input elements modelobject.
Could anyone ddid this scenario.. ie., calling/executing teh BAPI call which doesnt have any input s but expects output.
Here is what i have
<i><b>Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input bapiSalesOrderHeader=new Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input();
wdContext.nodeZ_Sales_Order_Header_Input().bind(bapiSalesOrderHeader);
wdContext.currentZ_Sales_Order_Header_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
int ilSalesOrderTypeSize=0;
ilSalesOrderTypeSize=wdContext.nodeZ_Sales_Order_Header_Output().nodeSalesordertype().size();</b></i>
Thanks & Regards,
Raghavendra Pothula

Hi Raghavendra,
If I read you correctly, you are printing the size of the root output node (Z_Sales_Order_Header_Output) and not that of the output node inside your 'Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input' node. When you execute the RFC, the output node inside the 'Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input' node gets populated. so try printing the size of the 'Salesordertype' node inside the 'Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input' node.
-Z_Sales_Order_Header_Input
---output (this is the default name)
---Salesordertype
Infact there is no need to create the 'Z_Sales_Order_Header_Output' node itself in the controller or view.
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Nibu.

Error message in BAPI call

I have imported RFC Interfaces from SAP system. Each interfaces doesn't have fault message.
How to get error message in BAPI call when error occurs?
I can catch an exception in BPM but I need to get error message and send it to another system.

Hi Denis,
>>>I have imported RFC Interfaces from SAP system. Each interfaces doesn't have fault message.
if you want to use fault messages
consider using ABAP Proxies
>>>>How to get error message in BAPI call when error occurs?
most bapis have return table in which they
return error messages (you can do it either
in a sync way or in an async way if the call is too long - with corrlelation of course)

Bapi call in abap proxy reaching dialog timeout in async scenario

Hi all,
We have an XI interface to create sales orders. Legacy app sends a soap message async to XI with a group of orders. XI sends this group of orders to an Abap proxy async on ECC side. Into this Abap proxy we have a loop to process each order received in the group with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. Ending the loop, abap proxy start another async process to send the response to XI with an outbound abap proxy, and the response is redirected by XI to Legacy app.
The problem is, this group of orders can have two or two thousand orders... so, the async process guarantee that no timeout limit will be reached. This is working for the whole process. But when this BAPI is creating an order, the time out of BAPIs execution seems to be the same as the timeout of dialog processes (now set to 10 minutes). This is our problem. Some orders spend more than 10 minutes to process (orders with five hundreds items, for example)... when this occurs, BAPI throws a time out reached error and the async process stops on the inbound queue with status sysfail.
We are now trying to understand why this timeout is been triggered by the BAPI. As it is running into an Async process, it should execute without any kind of timeout limits...
If anybody has any idea, please, help us.
Thank you.
regards.
roberti

May be I was not so clear... the total spent time in the process can be many many hours, days, etc... no timeout is reached. I can post 10.000 orders, no timeout is reached. The problem is that if the processing of only one order with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 takes longer than 10 minutes, then the timeout is reached. This is the strange part. The processing of the bapi seems to get the same timeout of dialog processes, we already tested increasing the dialog process timeout and the timeout of bapi execution was the same...
We already monitor on SE66 to see if it opens a dialog process to execute the bapi call function, but it does not.
If anyone has any tip, please, provide us.
Thanks!

Problem with mutiple BAPI calls during the commit

Hi all,
I am trying to create accounts for a given partner i the transaction F9K1 using the BAPI BAPI_BKK_ACCNT_CREATE. After calling the BAPI I am committing it too.
The problem is if I try to create multiple accounts like RCA, ACA, MCA, IOE and so on, the first time the BAPI is called to create RCA account it is successful an it is even committing. When I call the BAPI to create the the ACA account the return table from the BAPI shows success message but the commit fails. If I restart the program and try creation of accounts now the RCA will throw a error msg saying account already exist, ACA account will be created and then the MCA account creation fails in the same manner explained above.
I see the issue is with multiple BAPI calls and I tried using all sort of methods like clearing buffers, start new task in local and wait command and all. But none of them seems to be working for me.
Can anyone please guide me on how I can overcome this problem.
Thanks.

BAPI :
BAPI BAPI_BKK_ACCNT_CREATE
Functionality
Use this method to create an account in Bank Customer Accounts. This method returns the following values:
Identification details for the newly created account such as the internal and the external account number, and the bank area details
A table containing error messages
To create an account by using this method, you must specify values for the import parameters Bank Area (BANKAREA) and Product (PRODUCTNAME).
Note: You must also specify a value in the External Account Number (EXTERNALACCOUNTNR) parameter if you have defined an external number range for the bank .

Jayan.

Is it possible to compose XML in BPM from responses of multiple BAPI calls?

Hi guys!
I want to send into BPM an XML document, which will be parsed and it will call some BAPIs more times. And I need to get response. Is it possible, to compose an XML document from these BAPI return codes to be sent back as response? Concretely I will use SOAP->XI->SAP and response SAP->XI->SOAP... I will use it as asynchronous call..
Thanx, Peter
Message was edited by: Peter Jarsunek

Hi Peter,
It depends:
- what kind of bapi is it? (does it have some sort of number?) like delivery number or something else?
if not you'll have to add something
so you can correlate your bapi with bapi response
if you want to know which response corresponds to which bapi call
but you can do it with a bapi wrapper
>>>>Is it possible, to compose an XML document from these BAPI return codes to be sent back as response?
you you can collect message in a BPM - standard pattern
(but remember about the "correlation")

BAPI CALL IN BACKGROUND TASK

Hi,
We have a sales order workflow for exceptional demand.
In one of the steps of the workflow,the corresponding task executes in background.
Sales Order Change BAPI is called within this task.
Now the problem is that in case the sales order is locked for execution by some other user, the BAPI call returns a message of type 'E'.
Currently we send a mail to the concerned people to indicate that the sales order change has failed. However the users are concerned, since there is no immediate feeback on the errors.
Is there any way that the user's can be informed instantly that an error has occured and also a retry option so that the BAPI call can be reexecuted at a later time.
Regards,
Jitender

You can do this in two ways
1. Put the BAPI call after a WHILE loop, that always checks for SY-SUBRC and within it you call the FM to lock the order
OR
2. Do this in workflow by using the return message type E to start the same task with some delay, say 30 mins or so...
Good Luck
Ravi

Bapi call for Storage Location????

Hi,
Is there any Bapi call which would display the stor location of Material.
in the Bapi_mat_availabilty.. It shws the total amt of stock and stor_loc is an opional input parameter..
Thanks in Advance,
Diana

Hi,
Please find the answers to your questions.
Thanks for you reply!
Ques: What does FUNCTION 'ZPM1_GENERATE_SRM_DOC_ID' do wns why do you ignore the SY-SUBRC?
Bapi SRM_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN_VIA_TAB has SY-SUBRC as 1.
Ques: what are the values of c_rms_id c_d_elem_name c_d_srule_name c_d_srule_type v_document_id at run time?
These are all constants based on the record structure of client.
Ques: Which BAPI is not working for any of the Office 2010 documents?
SRM_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN_VIA_TAB
Ques: Do you use mime type XLSX - application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet or XLS - application/vnd.ms-excel
Yes.

BAPI calls for DMS in CRM system

Hi,
What BAPI calls are available on CRM system to support DMS? Where can I find more info on this?
Regards,
Naveen

Interesting question.
A survey of transaction bapi reveals no DMS bapi's in CRM2007. However, In SPRO there are controls for DMS and transaction CSADMIN can also be found in the system.

Minimal Authentication for BAPI calls

Hi,
We use SAP Jco Library to connect SAP systems in our applications. Within the aplication we make BAPI calls to the SAP system for various operations. A typical BAPI calls we make are BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE, BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST, BAPI_EQUI_GETLIST etc.
For these BAPI calls it is must that the user needs SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profile added to his profile. I would be interested to know what is the minimal profile the user needs to make these BAPI calls?
Is there a document/link which talks about the minimum roles\profile needed for different BAPI calls byt the user.
Regards,
Naveen

there's a couple of notes on that:
[452508|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/452508] describes RFC-connects coming from a portal.
[129795|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/129795] does the same for connect via Session Manager
... there are a couple of others - a quick search in SMP will reveal the others.
as for your BAPIs: obviously you will need the authorizations for whatever the BAPI wants - some BAPI's require transaction code, several organisational values - e. g. creating CS-orders uses most of the I_* objects as well as the t-code for IW31.
But that is about all - you do not need SAP_ALL and/or SAP_NEW - in fact: try to avoid it - reduce the RFC-users to what they need and no more. Keep to using BAPIs for your development, as they are much more trustworthy (securitywise) than other RFC-FM's/methods.
In the SDN security forum are some sticky threads where you might find additional information in that direction. Its worth a look, Julius goes to great length of pain to make them interesting.

Question related to BAPI Call

Hi All,
I am using a BAPI Call to SAP in my BLS transaction. One of the action blocks in the transaction is a SQL Query which updates a Oracle table based on the SAP returned values from the previous action block. For the most part, it works fine except once in a blue moon, the values show up as 'null' when in fact I expect some values to be returned from SAP. Is there anyone out there who has faced a similar issue? What would be a quick and easy solution to this? Thanks.
Regards,
V M.

Hi Venki,
Possible response segments for CONF_CNT (in DETAIL_RETURN):
1) That BAPI will return "000000" for counter if the confirmation was unable to be processed for some reason, but you were able to connect to SAP. A fairly common reason is the record being locked if you run similar confirmations too close together. It takes time for the confirmation record to be released by SAP.
2) It will return a number "000001 or greater if the confirmation was successful (along with a confirmation number).
3) The circumstances where it will return an empty field are when it is unable to connect to SAP, but you should have a conditional to check for the success flag from the BAPI. This is standard error handling when using a BAPI. This will also leave all fields in the response segment blank.
4) And there is another set of circumstances which will leave the fields blank. This is fairly unusual, but does happen when the error handling inside the BAPI runs into a situation which it can't handle. So the BAPI crashes and never returns any information back to MII.
You will need to decide which of these situations are causing your null data. But put error handling in based on the Success flag for the BAPI for SAP unavailable and for a CONF_CNT = "000000" or blank.
Good luck,
Mike

u can check the below the material also
what is BAPI?
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
I have answered this question before..
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Example Code
U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'

You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Example Code
U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest
exceptions
connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
others = 3.
call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
exporting
clsid = g_c_clsid
typelib = g_c_typelib
importing
instid = g_f_oid
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
exporting
%instid = g_f_oid
%method = 'UpdatePDF'
sntemp = g_v_const_filent
snsysid = sy-sysid
snflag = 'N'
tables
rssaptable = g_t_pdfdetail1
%return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
then close the com session , using
FM delete_com_instance
FM END_COM_SESSION

BAPI call from Process Chain

Hi,
in our system , a Program runs everyday in R3 system to fill the customized delta tables and we run the process chain to load the data in BW from Delta tables in R3 system.But problem in the above scenario, after completion of R3 Job in R3 system the BW system does not aware of R3 job status so we have schedule the process chain in such a way that the process chain start after 2 Hours of completion of R3 jobs.
to overcome this, i need to implement either of the below requirement.
a BAPI call so that the R3 job can be triggered from BW from a process chain, and then the BW metachains can start once it is finished.
Or
we are using a ABAP program in R3 system to fill Delta table. So at the end of the ABAP code, send an RFC message to BW, which can trigger a job in BW which will start 1 meta chain.
please tell me which is the better option and how can i
Regards
Atul

hi
i have tried below logic in R3 side
Create a Customized FM with Remote Enabled in BW system
call that FM with RFC destination and Event name as Export parameter from a ABAP program in R3 Side
i have given the Event name in Variant as same as i have created in BW system SM62
when i had run the Program in R3 side the program run successfully but the process chain did not run in BW system.
please let me know what is the reason behind this.
below code i have written in ABAP program in R3 side
parameters: rfcdest like rfcdisplay-rfcdest,
            zevent type char32.
